REALITY: All 5 of the Baltimore Ravens losses have been by 6 points or less.
PERCEPTION: This season has been extremely frustrating for the coaches, the players, and the fans. They have been close in every game, and “could be” 6-0, but they would be 0-6 if not for an overtime win against the Steelers with a back-up QB.
The Ravens have seen each of their first six games decided by one score or less. That happens, but it’s rare: Just 13 teams have done that since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970.
